Moving on from the pandemic, the airline increased its frequency of flights across India at the start of this Summer season, including the introduction of daily flights between Tiruchirappalli and Colombo," it said.

"SriLankan Airlines would like to assure Indian customers that the airline’s daily flight operations between Tiruchirappalli and Colombo remain unchanged and to book with confidence as the airline will make every reasonable effort to fulfill customers’ travel plans," it added.
